Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"Heart lamp?" The girl was a little puzzled: "Are you talking about mood?"

“That’s actually understandable.”

Chen Yang smiled and explained: "The heart controls the fire. When the heart fire is bright, the dark room is gone and the mood is joyful. When the heart fire flickers and becomes dim, there will be ghosts everywhere."

"In traditional Chinese medicine, a large part of the causes of insomnia and dreaminess are related to heart fire."

Chen Yang explained: "Sometimes we are too excited and can't fall asleep at night because the lights are too bright. It's like turning on the lights at night and always having trouble falling asleep."

"Similarly, when the fire of the heart flickers, it can make people feel insecure."

Chen Yang explained: "In the past, people often said that there was a fire in one's heart, which actually refers to a person's spirit."

"When the heart fire is unclear, everything is cold, the body is cold and afraid of cold, like an ice cellar, and ghosts are thinking of it."

Chen Yang explained: "In fact, there is a big difference between having lights in the room and not having lights. We turn off the lights when we go to bed at night and don't feel scared. But if there is a power outage, we will feel scared and insecure. When we get up at night, we will feel that there is no light."

"You don't have a good relationship with your roommates, so you're in a bad mood. Sometimes you even have some negative thoughts. Over time, it's like turning off your inner fire."

Chen Yang said: "We often say that people who are in a bad mood are plagued by bad luck and are easily possessed by evil spirits. In fact, it is because of the unclear heart fire that they are prone to illness and nightmares..."

A person's mood is very important to him or her. If one is in a bad mood, he or she will have all kinds of random thoughts all day long and be under a lot of pressure. He or she will often have nightmares at night. The girl had a bad relationship with her roommates.

You may even be ridiculed by others. Over time, you will inevitably develop some negative thoughts, feel inferior, and feel that you are bad and inferior to others. This is also a manifestation of insecurity.

"You know, a single light can illuminate a darkness that lasts for thousands of years."

Chen Yang said to the girl: "No matter what the situation is, you must always maintain an optimistic attitude. With an optimistic attitude, any difficulties can be overcome. We cannot choose our family background, but we can choose our mood and the way we live."

"Thank you, I understand." The girl thanked him.

This is actually why Ge Huaqunjue’s analogy of Chen Yang is appropriate. The girl’s situation is precisely because of the long-term influence of her mood, which leads to unclear heart fire.

What does it mean that Chen Yang can explain the condition so vividly? It means that Chen Yang understands the patient's condition very well and is clear about the pathology.

Only when you fully understand something can you explain it in a vivid way so that people can understand and comprehend it clearly.

As he spoke, Chen Yang prescribed a dose of Guizhi Gancao Decoction for the girl.

Guizhi Gancao Decoction is pungent and sweet in nature, which can transform yang and strengthen yang, thereby boosting yang energy and enhancing heart yang. In this way, wherever the heart yang can reach, there will be no reason for people to get sick and be afraid of the cold.

"Go back and take it according to the prescription. It mainly depends on your mood."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Kyoto Institute of Technology is a good school. Now is the time to study hard. We come from a poor family, so we should study hard. We may not be worse off than others after graduation."

"Thank you." The girl took the prescription and thanked again.

"You're welcome." Chen Yang smiled.

In fact, Chen Yang could understand the girl's feelings. Chen Yang's family background was not that good. It could not be said that his family background was very bad. It could only be said that it was an ordinary family.

Although Chen Yang's family owns a house in Jinjiang City, it is only because Chen Yang is a native of Jinjiang City. The house was bought in the early years when Teacher Chen's unit still received subsidies.

Later, Ms. Tao Ying was laid off, and her salary was only as high as Chen Zhenghong's. Chen Yang's family was not well off.

When Chen Yang was in Jiping Town, his salary was not high. In fact, before getting the system, Chen Yang was also thinking about working harder and trying to get out of Jiping Town. However, Wang Ya and Chen Yang were no longer on the same page at that time. Many times when Chen Yang wanted to discuss something with Wang Ya, Wang Ya was impatient.

When a couple lives together, if they are not of one mind, it will be difficult for them to have a good life, especially in an ordinary family. Some things should be discussed by both of them. When they are not of one mind, they will lose their fighting spirit.

In fact, for a broken family, divorce can be a form of rebirth.

Watching the girl walk out of the clinic with the prescription, Chen Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Xiao Chen, that's a very good example you gave."

After the girl left the consulting room, Ge Huaqun said, "It's amazing that you can explain the pathology so clearly and vividly."

"Director Ge, you're joking. I'm just trying to make the patient understand as much as possible."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "For some diseases, medication is only one aspect. Simply taking medicine without letting the patient understand the cause is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause."

Chinese medicine actually attaches great importance to the root cause of the disease. Many symptoms are caused by unhealthy work and rest habits, bad temper, etc. These all need attention.

Nowadays, Chinese medicine practitioners in some hospitals not only tend toward Western medicine in terms of treatment thinking, but also in style. Many things they say are not made clear, they keep people in suspense, or they just deal with it perfunctorily. This is actually extremely irresponsible.

It is said that TCM can prevent illness before it occurs. Preventing illness before it occurs actually means letting patients understand the cause, taking precautions in advance, and paying more attention. If you don’t say anything, don’t provide popular science, and don’t explain, patients won’t even know what’s going on when they get sick, so how can you talk about prevention?

It is better to let the medicine gather dust on the shelf than let people in the world get sick. This is the sentiment of a great doctor.

A doctor is a doctor. Although he has to support his family, he cannot be a businessman. He cannot be a good doctor if he is utilitarian.

"well said."

Ge Huaqun said: "This is what we doctors should understand. Many people don't understand this now. Many people really regard being a doctor as a profession or a job. In fact, there is a huge difference between being a doctor and other jobs."

Then Ge Huaqun asked, "Xiao Chen, are you following Professor Tang now?"

"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded.

"Xiao Zeng, you should talk to Director Tang and ask Xiao Chen to give everyone a lecture at school on this basic common sense." Ge Huaqun said to Zeng Yunhui.

"I will tell Master." Zeng Yunhui nodded.

Zeng Yunhui has benefited a lot from following Chen Yang these days. He feels that what Ge Huaqun said makes a lot of sense.

In fact, studying medicine is a process of enlightenment. If you can really compare medical principles with some things like Chen Yang, it is actually equivalent to enlightenment. Chinese medicine is inherently connected with all things in nature.

Every little thing in life can improve medical knowledge, and medical knowledge can also be applied in life and work. If you can understand these principles, your medical skills can really be taken to a higher level.

"I'll tell Professor Tang about it too."

Ge Huaqun smiled and said to Chen Yang: "Xiao Chen, are you interested?"

"Thank you, Director Ge." Chen Yang thanked him and did not refuse.

In fact, Chen Yang is not stingy in sharing his insights. If he could give lectures at the Kyoto University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it would also be beneficial to him.
